A mate of mine has just left me with a Stihl 038 magnum for as long as i need it. i need a decent size saw for dropping big dead trees & dont want to splash out on a 066 at the moment so what size bar will this thing run ....it will be used only every now & then & i wont push it to hard but i need as long as bar as it will run. ?? :?

I've got this saw and the maximum specified for it is 20", I do run a 25" on it occasionally when the 20" is a wee bit to short but wouldn't want to due so full time as it does bog down a bit with it.
